Trouble with Expansion HD - System Crash on bootup

[i hear dead people]

I am wondering if this is a problem with the expansion HD that I just bought --

When I turn on my computer -- sometimes it will crash at the login screen --

Other times my date will be reset to Dec 31, 1969??

Here's the crash report if anyone can make sense of it...

Anyone having the same issues??

G4 Dual 1.4.2 - 7.3.1cs2 - 2gb Ram - HD5

From the looks of it, it has to do with the iLok, though maybe not the iLok specifically. It looks like you're using a hub - is this a powered hub? What happens if you take the hub off the system?

I would recommend:

Zap PRAM
Reset Open Firmware
Install the latest Pace iLok drivers from www.paceap.com
Make sure your date/time are set correctly - if it's resetting, you may need a new motherboard battery.

This is going through a geffen Cat5 - DVI Extender w/ USB - As well there are 2 USB Belkin Powered Hubs plugged in -- 1 directly in the computer -- and the other on the transmitting end of the Geffen -- I am going to try and eliminate these -- I was thinking that might cause it...

I'll report back what I find...

BTW, how does one reset open firmware?
